The Best Thing


I’m not a good man, but I’m trying to be
I’m not a blind man, though I couldn’t see
The brilliance of light and gold at my feet
I’m not a rich man, and I might never be

Round and round the record she spins
With broken hearts whatever they sing
The needle in the arm couldn’t pretend
To know who will win in the end

I’m not a bad man, sometimes it may seem
That I am a strong man, it weighs down on me
Have I forgiven myself for all that I’ve seen?
I’m not a wise man, but I might have always been

Round and round the record she spins
With broken hearts forever they sing
The needle in the arm couldn’t pretend
To know who will win in the end

I’m not the brightest sun or star in the sky
I’m not the kindest man, and I don’t know why
I let the brilliance of light and gold pass me by
It was the best thing, but I didn’t try

It was the best thing
It was the best thing
She was the best thing

Round and round the record she spins
With broken hearts whatever they sing
The needle in the arm couldn’t pretend
To know who will win, to know who will win
Round and round the record she spins
With broken hearts forever they sing
The needle in the arm couldn’t pretend
To know who will win in the end
To know who will win in the end
